Can anything be salvaged. So many questions.
As taxpayers what have we got for our Nimrod MRA4 money? Can anything be salvaged? What percentage completion is applicable to the 9 airframes under construction? What exactly is the current problem on the flight test aircraft that prevented its safe handover to the RAF. was it fixable in a short timescale? Are the whole fleet going to be broken up in a similar way to Nimrod Mk3,TSR2, Valiant B2. An enquiry should be set up to determine where it all went wrong and procedures put in place to ensure that future procurement procedures are tightened drastically to ensure that this waste of public money is not repeated. The saddest waste of all is the detrimental effect that this will have on so many talented people who have given so much of their lives to this project.
